@SenKatyG Agreed. That’s why I also call out and condemn the #genocide in Gaza. You? Seemingly not, as you support the genocidal Herzog’s visit to Australia!

@SenKatyG 1/n
Australia is a party to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of #Genocide (Genocide Convention), which it ratified in 1949.

Under Article I of the convention, states parties—including Australia—undertake to prevent …

The CIAMafia was formed to control these industries:

1. weapons mfg
2. heroin trafficking
3. oil/gas

What brought them together was a fervent desire to crush the Bolsheviks.

Soon, because #2 was their funding source, they started working with the world's mafias. And after

that, it became apparent that they could list the mafias as another industry they needed to control:

4. Mafias

And because there were hundreds of billions to launder every year, soon they had to also control:

5. Banking

Or, at least set up their own banks, or subvert some

banks, such as Deutsche Bank. That's why these banks, no matter how egregious their crimes are, never get shut down.

What does happen occasionally is that related firms are piled high with debt and then taken bankrupt to hide the crimes: Lehmann Brothers, Bear Stearns, BCCI.

@jamesetta_w @semafor You've got it wrong. The MediaMafia is exactly where they were meant to be - controlling our society.

No modern Mafia can exist w/o controlling the Media.

JP Morgan started this in the 1910's. The Elite that control America know this very well.

@jamesetta_w @semafor A good example of all this is Generoso Pope Jr. His godfather was Frank Costello - chief of the American Mafia in the 1950's.

Generoso went to MIT and then spent time with CIA. He then purchased the National Enquirer, with help from his godfather. From the Stormy Daniels

@jamesetta_w @semafor affair, we learned how important it was for the Media to do catch and kill operations, as one part of their work.

America's media properties are funded and staffed by several intell agencies: CIA, Mossad, KGB.

They do the work of the Mafia Triumvirate: CIAMafia, LikudMafia,

This coin is the earliest, well-dated artifact which indicates that Jews were observing one of the Ten Commandments.

It dates to 132 or 131 BCE.

A post in honor of this week’s Torah reading…

🧵1/4

This weeks Torah reading includes the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20.

The “second commandment” (at least according to the way ancient Jews like Philo and Josephus counted the commandments of the Decalogue) opens with the following prohibition:

“You shall not make for yourself a graven image or the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them and you shall not worship them”.

One way to understand this commandment is that the Torah proscribed both the making of an image and the worship of any such icon—and that neither prohibition was dependant on the other.

In other words, graven images are forbidden regardless of whether they were associated with other gods.

This is exactly how ancient Jews interpreted this commandment starting from the mid-second century BCE and onward—well into the second century CE.
2/4

We find tangible evidence for ancient Jewish observance of this commandment in Jewish art from this time, which almost completely avoided figural images—depictions of humans or animals.

This is especially striking with the coins minted by Jews for the local Jewish population. While normally coins depict a portrait of the ruling authority responsible for the mint, Jewish coins invariably avoided such depictions—or indeed any depictions at all of figural art. Instead, they included floral designs, or inanimate objects like a cornucopia (horn of plenty), anchors, boats, and the like.

Perhaps most strikingly, many of the Hasmonean coins feature on their obverse a floral wreath framing a lengthy legend of dense text that covers almost every available space. These legends provide the name and title of the Hasmonean ruler and also cite “the assembly of the Judeans.”

It seems clear that the designers of these coins were attempting to display a virtual portrait of the Hasmonean leader while avoiding any graphic image. The underlying message was clear: The highest echelons of the political leadership had endorsed the Torah’s strict ban on images.

Have seen a few charts out there with similar data (namely from @intangiblecoins & @biancoresearch), but here's my spin on the data. Bitcoin ETF holders in aggregate are sitting on their biggest losses since the ETFs launched in Jan 2024 thanks to Bitcoin's price collapse.

The ETFs are facing the worst Bitcoin pullback in % terms since their launch. Now sitting at a ~42% loss with BTC under $73k.

Despite this, the ETFs are still hanging in there pretty good... They've seen over $7 billion in outflows since 10/10/25 when things started crumbling but that's not too shabby considering these funds took in ~$63 bln at their peak

ABOUT THE JEWISH PRACTICE OF GENITAL MUTILATION - ADDITIONAL DETAILS

In the Abrahamic tradition, it became a mark of ownership.
The shift to infancy is the crucial "psychotic" turn—it ensures the victim can never remember being whole.

The "Reprisal" of Joshua: Biblical texts suggest that after the Exodus, those who were "lax" in Egypt were forced to undergo a "second" sharper circumcision. This highlights the practice as a tool of political and religious enforcement over the body.

Babylonian Wholeness: The Babylonians (along with Greeks and Romans later) famously viewed the practice as a mutilation. The Jews' refusal to conform to this "wholeness" during the exile is what turned a tribal custom into a permanent, identity-defining trauma.

The Abu Dhabi talks won't end the war—but they're far from pointless. Here's what they could actually achieve, and why Putin may be forced to soften his demands within months: 🧵[1/8]

Previous rounds of talks have led to some important, albeit limited results. First and foremost, I'm talking about prisoner exchanges - the UAE has mediated 17 of them in the past four years, allowing thousands of captured soldiers to return to their families

[2/8]

Secondly, such negotiations are important because they formalize the rules of engagement. Yes, these are often violated by Putin, but it is important that they be documented nevertheless, because this allows such breaches to be identified easily

Let's do an Epstein CLIP dump.... Might wanna bookmark there for future use. No particular order, and definitely not exhaustive.

THE EPSTEIN MIRROR: WHY YOUR SHOCK IS A LIE
/////////////////
The "shock" over Epstein is a hollow mask if it doesn't confront the foundational psychopathy that makes such exploitation possible.
When the headlines scream of Jeffrey Epstein’s network, the world responds with

a well-rehearsed performance of horror. We cry out, "How can this happen?" as if we aren't the same civilization that has spent millennia codifying the ownership of the vulnerable into our laws and rituals.

If you are shocked by the trafficking of children but silent about the

systematic "routine" harms we inflict on the innocent, your moral compass isn't broken—it’s non-existent.

The 4,000-Year-Old Injunction

For forty centuries, humanity has accepted a psychotic injunction: the ritual mutilation of male infants.

The Psychopathy of the Routine: Why We Mutilate Our Sons

Millions of men in the West live with the reality of genital mutilation—labeled "circumcision" to sanitize the act—without ever questioning its origin. For most, it was a sterile, hospital-room transaction:

an infant whisked away, a blade applied to the most intimate part of his body, and a lifetime of physical alteration enacted before he could speak his own name.

We are told this is "what everyone does." But we must ask: How does such madness become mundane?

The Sovereign Body vs. Institutional Psychopathy

At the heart of this practice lies a fundamental psychopathy of ownership. It is the belief that the sovereign body of an individual can be superseded by the whims, traditions, or "rituals" of the collective.
